Robert Porter, who has been
hauling milk for the Forest
Grove Condenser, took a dose of
strychnine last Saturday, and
death followed in a few hours.
There were two bottles on the
shelf, one being strychnine and
the other quinine.
Porter wu not "feeling well
and his son had taken the milk
route. Shortly after Porter had
taken the poison Mrs. Porter no
ticed that he was acting strange.
and she questioned him. He
pointed to the bottles and aaid
that he had taken some quMTne.
Death resulted in an hear or so,
and Coroner Barrett went to the
home to hold an inquest.
Whether the poison was taken
with suicidal intent or ax an ah.
sent-minded mistake will never
be known. It is said that Porter
took laudanum several years
ago, and it wu then thought
that it was an attempt to com mit
suicide.
He leaves a wife and several
children on his little place in the
hills, and it is stated that he had
been despondent for some time
over financial affairs. He wu i
